Fastest fingers first
Today is the day and we’re just 30 minutes away from the opening of the US general sale ticket ballot.
The general sale will begin today at 10am EST (3pm BST).
Parkas in the sun
Liam Gallagher-style parkas have seen a surge in demand since Oasis revealed their upcoming tour.
Originally popularized by the Mods in the 1960s, the iconic coat was revived in the 1990s by Liam during the height of Britpop.
Fashion chains have now said the coats are making a comeback.
Vintage clothing store Atika said they are scouring suppliers to keep up with demand for parkas with Oasis fans trying to recreate the look of swaggering front man Liam.
The store’s senior commercial manager John Howlin added: “Britpop was always a statement of swagger with a look over it’s shoulder to the British icon of the past.”
Full list of cities Oasis will hit on their 2025 world tour:
Per NME, the 13 cities include Boston, Los Angeles, Chicago and East Rutherford in the United States.
Also among the line-up is Toronto, Canada and Mexico City, Mexico.
Oasis will additionally be performing in Australia, namely Sydney and Melbourne.
Further shows are set to be held in Tokyo, Japan and Seoul, South Korea.
Rounding the list off is gigs in Sao Paulo, Brazil, Santiago, Chile and Buenos Aires, Argentina.
The North American leg of the tour kicks off today with pre-sale tickets, followed by a general sale tomorrow.
UK fans want refunds
Furious Oasis fans are demanding refunds ahead of the US leg of the band’s tour.
After the controversy surrounding dynamic pricing during UK ticket sales, Oasis confirmed they would not use the system for North American dates.
Now, UK fans are outraged, questioning why they were “taken advantage of” during the UK sales.
One fan wrote: “Cool—so where’s the refund for the overcharging of UK fans then?”
Another added: “Maybe refund the UK fans you ripped off?”
A third commented: “Not only did you fail to provide enough tickets for UK fans, but you also overcharged them. Unbelievable!”
Ticket fury despite band pledge
North American fans angling to get their hands on Oasis tickets were met with shock when they discovered how much they would cost.
This comes despite confirmation that a spokesperson for the band assured fans that ‘dynamic pricing’ would not apply.
“After waiting in the cue for 15 minutes, these are the cheapest remaining ‘pre sale’ tickets for Oasis in Toronto. What. A. Joke (sic),” one fan posted alongside a screenshot from the Ticketmaster website, which showed prices of $360 and $516.
Is an Oasis documentary in the works?
Apple TV+ bosses want to film a multi-million-pound Beatles-style documentary about the Oasis reunion tour.
It would follow Noel and Liam Gallagher in the run-up to their hugely anticipated gigs next summer.
An insider told The Sun on Sunday: “This is set to be the film of the decade, with Apple TV+ proposing huge money to bag the rights to this documentary.
“They are facing competition from other streamers such as Amazon Prime and Netflix but Apple have thrown all their weight behind this one.
“Fans can expect it to be in the same style as the Beatles documentary which gave a never-before-seen insight into the band.”
